Best Answer

Radio waves are energy. Electromagnetic energy to be exact. The amount of energy a radio wave has will depend on the amount of power the transmitter has, the amount of amplification, the quality of the cable connecting it to the antenna and finally the antenna. The amount of energy is usually measured in watts.

Which EM waves can carry television signals?

Radio waves. Low frequency.


Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?

Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.


If wave amplitudes are equal will high-frequency waves carry more or less energy than low-frequency waves?

if wave amplitudes are equal ,will high frequency waves carry more or less energy than low frequency waves


Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?

Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.


What 2 forms of energy are created by waves?

No form of energy is ever created, you can only change one form into another. Waves come in many forms, and all of them carry energy, which can be transformed into other kinds of energy. Water waves, for instance, carry kinetic energy which can drive a generator to produce electrical energy, as well as waste heat energy. Light energy travels as waves, and this can be changed by a solar cell into electrical energy, or by a plant into chemical energy.

that depends mostly on the transmitter power and the square of the distance from the transmitter.

Do gamma rays carry the least amount of energy of the EM waves?

No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.


Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?

The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
